Yeah, some states are like that. Pennsylvania started that requirement early. there is a fair amount to go through to complete the process as well as a $25 fee. Someone from the park will check out the proposed location and gc.com will not approve it until they have the ok from the park. I'd kind of frown on paying $25 to place the caches, but you know - I'd pay $25 for all of my cache loctions in a heartbeat.

I really like the idea. It seems it would insure proper permission and promotes quality over quantity, and provides good communication if one happens to be mistaken for a bomb. The park service knows right where each and every cache is. Maybe Gob-ler can chime in and verify if my theory there is true.

Are you trying to say.....

You will find that there are many different policies concerning geocaching from federal level down to city parks.

Manes state wide policy is pretty straight forward right now. In the spring there will be a new policy for state parks in Maine. Pretty much the caches will have to get permit and the location will have to be reviewed. No fees, but this is Maine after all.

Caching here in Georgia has been fun so far, just wished I had more time to cache though. Establishing a policy I think is the way to go,that was one of the original reasons that we put together this website and forum to begin with. Good luck with your endeavors.
